to operate properly.

above the oil level of the valve unless you are using a fuel pressure regulator.
If using a fuel-pump at 4 psi to pump oil from the main tank we recommend
mounting it at the same height as the oil level in the valve.
Check all fuel line connections for any leaks.
There is a 2” space around the heater/stove and 6” away from any combustibles.
